You apparently can still, but you must accompany your dunk posts with a 10 page thesis with citations on why it should be dunked on and illustrate multiple conclusions on the nature of MuskFan1488's reactionary tendencies. Any posts with missing citations will be removed because we are all adults here and this is a very serious site. Excuse me while I go make a post about Beanis shitting out little Beanis.

Uhhhhhh I already suck at efforposts.

Is this site trying to become r/AskHistorians but for leftism?

[-] Robert_Kennedy_Jr@hexbear.net 33 points 1 month ago

One of the dunk tank mods actively hates the low effort posts and I assume was one of the main drivers of getting dunk/dredge shut down. The only conclusion I can draw is they want to slowly kill the site by making it less welcoming and drive down engagement. I try to read the multi paragraph comments sometimes but my ADHD causes my eyes to gloss over.

[-] ManFreakBeast@hexbear.net 28 points 1 month ago

Why would you mod a community filled with content you hate? Just block it?

This is like that one SDP leader who hated revolution.

[-] Robert_Kennedy_Jr@hexbear.net 25 points 1 month ago

Because other people were enjoying it and naturally if you shut down the shit posting then everyone will start having involved discussions on the nature of dialectics.

Ohh that's like how I focused on my schooling instead of getting drunk because I wasn't old enough to drink! Makes sense to me.

[-] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago

Fr. I only blocked two communities here, but it was really all I needed for the perfect site.

[-] buh@hexbear.net 16 points 1 month ago

this is the official site of the podcast citations needed after all

Wait, read settlers? And here I've been playing settlers of Catan like an idiot

[-] ManFreakBeast@hexbear.net 25 points 1 month ago

Oh I was just reading the rule book. Was that... not what I was supposed to do?

I just couldn't wrap my head around how building the longest railroad secured our rights as posters

[-] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 18 points 1 month ago

Train good, simple as.

No everything has to be serious at all times and we cannot find any humor in the absurdity of hell world. The last time I smiled was on August 19th, 1991. I wear a dirty ushanka at all times, do not shave, and only take cold sponge baths because hot running water is bourgeoisie decadence. Every day at exactly noon I have the same meal of an expired Maoist MRE I store in a pit covered in old issues of a revolutionary newspaper. I sleep in a bed made of flags from every failed revolution so that they are never forgotten. In the evenings I stare at a picture of vodka by candlelight, but I do not allow myself to drink because there is nothing to celebrate. Every local org has banned me after I attempted to split it by assassinating the leadership. There is no plumbing in my house I shit in a brass bucket with a picture of Gonzalo and Deng french kissing in the bottom of it. My house is actually an overturned T34 in an abandoned junkyard in Wisconsin. I have a single friend in this world and it is a tapeworm named Bordiga that I met after ingesting spoiled borscht on 9/11 in the ruins of building 7 (I blew it up after finding that a nominally leftist NGO inside of it wasn’t sufficiently anti-imperialist, the attacks on the world trade center were a perfect revolutionary moment for me to enact direct praxis against liberalism). My source of income is various MLM schemes in the former soviet bloc that have been running for so long no one remembers who I am, they just keep sending money. I have not paid taxes since McGovern lost the Democratic nomination for president and my faith in electoralism died more brutally than my childhood dog after it got into an entire jar of tylenol. I own 29 fully automatic rusted kalashnikovs and three crates of ammunition entirely incompatible with them or any other firearms I own. My double PHD in marxist economics and 18th century Swiss philosophy (required to understand Engels) sits over the fireplace of my home, my fireplace is a salvaged drum from a 1950s washing machine that was recalled for locking children inside of it. I chose that washing machine model on purpose because I am anti-natalist. During the latest BLM protests I firebombed a Nikes outlet in the middle of a peaceful candlelit vigil. William F Buckley and I wrote hatemail to one another for 47 years until my final letter gave him an aneurysm. The only water I drink is from puddles. George Lucas and I dropped acid together during an MKULTRA southern baptist summer camp and he went on to write the movie Willow about our time together. The best way to test whether an electrical wire is live is to drool on it and shrimp salad is racist. You can make an IED out of potassium and the instructions are online thanks to Timothy McVey, who was actually a committed antifascist communist slandered by the deep state as part of operation condor. Every time a liberal files a restraining order against me, I carve a mark into the wall. I am running out of walls. When Amerika finally collapses I will be ready to lead the revolution. I am very smart and people like being around me.

man if i wanted to read i would've joined lemmygrad

[-] Xiisadaddy@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 1 month ago

😘 Your missing out on the fun little quotes we have at the top of the page. It'll be like "And that's why Biden should fall down the stairs" - Karl Marx and ur like "so true karl!"

[-] Venat@hexbear.net 19 points 1 month ago

r/shitliberalssay, r/trueanon, and r/thedeprogram already have this sort of content. I can understand the derision for this slop, but turning Hexbear into r/communism where only serious assessment of reality through Marxism is allowed also baffling given the name of this site and the site culture.

[-] buh@hexbear.net 17 points 1 month ago

welcome to drumph's america

[-] TheDoctor@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago

I still don’t understand why that was the takeaway from that announcement

[-] Robert_Kennedy_Jr@hexbear.net 23 points 1 month ago

Shutting down arguably the most popular comms and then making the new one with a "Must write this much to post here" sign doesn't feel great.

[-] TheDoctor@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago

Maybe I missed the sign. Just seems like a repeat of the main closing to me and the site was fine after that despite it seeming like the end of the world.
